The15th meeting of the Goose Specialist Group was held from 8-11 January 2013 in the Palace of Congress of Arcachon, France, next to the Bassin d’ Arcachon where several tens of thousands of Brent geese (Branta b.bernicla) winter every year. The meeting has received financial sponsorship from Office National de la Chasse et de la Faune Sauvage (ONCFS), Oiseaux Migrateurs du Paléarctique Occidental (OMPO), Fédération Nationale des Chasseurs (FNC), Fédération départementale des Chasseurs de Gironde (FDC33), Maison de la Chasse, Mairie d’Arcachon, Conseil Régional d’Aquitaine, Conseil Général de Gironde and la Fédération des Associations de Chasse et conservation de la faune sauvage de l’UE (FACE). All these organizations are kindly thanked for their generous support. In addition, 8 participants received a financial grant to attend the meeting from the Dutch Faunafund, OMPO and ONCFS - without this support these participants would not have been able to attend. The idea to have this meeting in France arose during the 13th meeting of the GSG in Elista, Russia in March 2011, and planning for this current meeting in Arcachon began just after the 14th meeting of GSG in Norway in April 2012.
